Chapter 56 Ren Jun: They may be the strongest opponents.
Kong Ling, Xu Tianyi, and Xu Wei.
Although none of the three of them were flying-type Soul Masters, they were not without "anti-air" methods.
Kong Ling's Sun God Light can work, but hitting it isn't so easy.
And then there's Xu Wei!
Xu Wei's first soul skill, Thunder Flash, is called a divine skill not only because it can make him immune to physical attacks, but also because it can transform into lightning after being used.
Lightning doesn't travel in a fixed direction; who says it can't go upwards?
At first, Xu Wei didn't expect this, and even after using his soul skill, he was still running around on the ground.
However, under the guidance of his homeroom teacher Ren Jun, he gained stronger and stronger control over his first soul skill and developed abilities that he had never thought of before.
For example, right now he can control the lightning after transforming into his human form to move upwards.
Although Xu Wei is not a flying-type beast spirit, he also gained the ability to traverse the sky after using his first spirit skill, Thunder Flash!
The lightning flashed so fast that even those with good eyesight in the audience could only see a streak of lightning flashing from bottom to top.
At this moment, Yuan Qingshuang, who was in mid-air, was completely unaware that her crisis had already befallen her.
Yuan Qingshuang didn't realize what was happening until the lightning bolt struck behind her, but it was too late.
As the lightning dissipated, Xu Wei's figure appeared above and behind Yuan Qingshuang.
Xu Wei will naturally continue to fall after losing his lightning strike, but for him, a moment is enough to make a move.
The dagger in his hand was crackling with lightning. Even though it was just an ordinary weapon made of rare metal, it still shimmered with a dangerous aura.
This is also the result of Ren Jun's teaching. Lightning inherently possesses powerful destructive force. Mastering a trace of its power and fusing it with a weapon, even if it's not a soul skill, can still enhance attack power.
Xu Wei seized the opportunity and stabbed Yuan Qingshuang in the back of the head with his dagger.
Yuan Qingshuang, who had just realized the danger, could only turn her head slightly. Although she saw Xu Wei falling behind her, she had no time to react.
"bite!"
With a crisp sound, Yuan Qingshuang clearly saw a nearly transparent barrier appear behind her, blocking the attack.
At the same time, she realized that she had been eliminated!
She thought she had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but unexpectedly, she was eliminated by Xu Wei, whom she had overlooked.
This psychological gap was something Yuan Qingshuang couldn't accept for a while.
At that moment, the referee's announcement of the result reached her ears.
"Match over! Team Kongling wins!"
There was no enthusiastic applause or cheers from the audience, since this match was between the Soul Master classes from various academies within the Sun Moon Empire, and most of the audience here had no direct connection to them.
Only the students in the class were clapping and shouting wildly, celebrating for Kong Ling and the others.
But the voices of a few dozen people seemed insignificant in this arena that could hold 100,000 people.
Most of the spectators were whispering among themselves, because the match was indeed quite exciting.
Although the match was short, it was full of twists and turns, much to their surprise.
The teams that hadn't been eliminated yet also looked solemn after watching the match, clearly shocked by the strength displayed by Kong Ling and her two companions.
This time, Kong Ling and the other two's abilities were almost entirely exposed to the public.
Whether it was Kong Ling's powerful second soul skill or Xu Wei's unexpected first soul skill, both posed a great threat to everyone.
Originally, everyone's attention was focused on Kong Xuan, who hadn't made a move yet, but it wasn't until the end of this match that they saw the reality.
Even if Kong Xuan didn't participate, they probably wouldn't be confident of winning.
Apart from Xu Tianyi, who was injured and went to receive treatment, Kong Ling and Xu Wei quickly returned to the audience.
The classmates were all there, and in an instant, the two were greeted with cheers again, like citizens welcoming a triumphant general.
After the two sat down next to Kong Xuan, their eyes turned to the Soul Arena below. The second match was about to begin!
Watching the game is also a way to gather information.
The remaining teams are all quite strong.
Such matches between teams often force each other to reveal their true intentions.
Xu Wei carried a small notebook. After each match, he would write down the information of the winners, as these people were likely to become their opponents later.
However, apart from Gu Wenyu, a two-ring Soul Master from Dongyang Advanced Soul Master Academy, who used his second Soul Skill and demonstrated the powerful effect of a Spirit-type Martial Soul, there were no other Soul Masters who used their second Soul Skill.
Xu Wei felt that the other opponents were not worth taking seriously at all.
However, despite thinking this way, he didn't skimp on the information he recorded.
"You need to watch this match carefully; I think they will be your biggest opponents."
Ren Jun's sudden words immediately piqued the interest of Kong Xuan and the others, who looked at the Soul Arena with a newfound curiosity.
The next match is between Mingdu Advanced Soul Master Academy and Risheng Advanced Soul Master Academy.
After both sides took to the field, Kong Ling's gaze was focused on one person. She recognized this person; it was Shui Ling.
At the same time, she also knew that what her homeroom teacher Ren Jun was referring to as needing to pay attention to was Shui Ling's team!
She has always regarded Shui Ling as a rival, and this time she wants to see just how strong their team really is!
As the competition began, all three Soul Masters from Sunrise Advanced Soul Master Academy possessed their Martial Souls, and the three yellow Soul Rings indicated that they were three one-ring Soul Masters.
On the other side, of the three members of the Water Crystal team, only two had activated their Martial Souls, while the third stood at the back, seemingly not planning to make a move.
Although the other side consisted of only three Soul Masters at the first ring, their strength must be considerable to have made it this far.
The audience was also surprised that the people from Mingdu Advanced Soul Master Academy would still try to hide their strengths under such circumstances.
However, when they saw the spirit rings of the two people with martial souls attached to them, the doubts that had just arisen in their hearts were instantly extinguished, because they might really have that strength.
Shui Ling and Lü Hanwen, both possessing martial spirits, each had two yellow spirit rings constantly pulsating on their bodies. These two were actually two-ring Great Soul Masters!
Each additional spirit ring greatly enhances a spirit master's abilities.
Normally, it is extremely difficult for a one-ring Soul Master to defeat a two-ring Great Soul Master.
Shui Ling's team is one of only two teams among the participating teams to have two second-ring Great Soul Masters.
The other team was naturally Kong Xuan and his group, but Kong Xuan, a great soul master, had never actually participated in the battle.
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Lü Hanwen rushed out.
He clearly possesses a lion-type beast spirit, and his physique underwent a significant change after the spirit possessed him.
He charged at the three opponents alone, seemingly intending to take on all three of them at once.
The three people opposite did not panic upon seeing this. They remained in place, ready to respond, with no fear in their eyes.
To break into the top 30, one must have some skill.
"roar!!!"
With a roar, Lü Hanwen rushed in front of the three men.
Du Ming, one of the three and a defensive-type Soul Master, stepped forward. His first Soul, the Rock Armor Shield, instantly expanded and unfolded, with a heavy rock shield blocking the way for the three.
Lu Hanwen also lit up his first spirit ring, his claws covered in bright golden light, and slammed them hard onto the shield opposite him.
His first soul skill, Golden Claw, has an armor-piercing effect, making it the best counter to defensive soul masters.
"Bang!"
The shield trembled violently, and fine cracks could be seen on it. Du Ming groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to retreat.
Just then, teammate Qian Song suddenly appeared from behind Du Ming.
The Wind Shadow Leopard granted him incredible speed. He activated his first soul skill, Wind Shadow Assault, and his figure transformed into three afterimages, attacking Lü Hanwen from different angles.
Judging from the situation, it seemed impossible for Lü Hanwen to completely dodge these three attacks, but he suddenly lifted both feet off the ground.
His body had nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, yet he somehow managed to complete a complex set of dodging maneuvers, causing Qian Song's three attacks to miss completely!
Such meticulous operation immediately drew gasps of amazement from the audience.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hanwen, a powerful offensive Soul Master, was able to dodge in such a way.
Kong Xuan, who had been watching the situation in the Soul Arena closely, narrowed his eyes. In his golden pupils, he could see things that ordinary people could not.
He knew that the series of actions just now were not performed by Lü Hanwen.
The real "mastermind" is actually Shui Ling behind the scenes!
